I'm hoping for a more traditional/softer seat than the CTR. I want something that I can sit fine in for a few hours with my bad back on a drive. I dont need some racer bucket seat in a luxury car. Its fine if its an option but I'd rather have the normal Integra seats with just a little more bolster.

I think the ITS will have leather (or at least leather with micro suede). I’d be shocked if it didn’t honestly.

Heated seats, hopefully ventilated seats. No sunroof. Probably no heated steering wheel (I really like this on my TLX now that we’re in winter). Same door panel and center console design with maybe some slight material changes compared to the regular Integra (I’m not a big fan of either on the regular Integra).

Is that worth what many are guessing will be near $50k price tag ($48k MSRP means you’re going to be around $52k OTD)? I’m not certain.

For me, I got my ‘21 TLX A-Spec SH-AWD CPO for $42k. Trade in now is probably high 30’s, which means I’d be looking at ~$14-15k to “upgrade” to an ITS (The TLX has a nicer interior, but a less usable rear seat and cargo area).

We need more official info from Acura, and I need to find out if my dealer is selling at MSRP, or is there ADM on it, which will be a hard pass for me.

Hoping we get some more info in the coming months, or they have the camo’d ITS at Sebring in March, where I can see it in person.

2024 Integra Type S Makes North American Debut at Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona

January 26, 2023 — TORRANCE, Calif.

• Prototype of the upcoming Acura Integra Type S will serve as lead vehicle at the start of North America’s most prestigious sports car race
• Highly anticipated Integra Type S wears special camouflage for first public appearance
• Acura also marked the debut of the all-new electrified GTP-class Acura ARX-06 Prototype race cars with pole position for the Rolex 24

A prototype of the new 2024 Acura Integra Type S will make its North American debut at the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway this weekend to the delight of IMSA fans and motorsport enthusiasts alike. Wearing a special “Type S” camouflage wrap, the highly anticipated Acura Integra Type S will be displayed in the paddock of Florida’s Daytona International Speedway throughout the race weekend and will serve as lead vehicle at the start of North America’s most prestigious sports car race.

Promising ultimate street performance and driver engagement, the 2024 Integra Type S will be powered by a high-revving 2.0-liter VTEC turbocharged engine producing over 300 horsepower and paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and limited slip differential.
More details on the Integra Type S will be shared closer to its launch this summer. For more information on the next-gen Acura Integra, the 2023 North American Car of the Year™, click here.

For those of you that have seen the car in person, are the flared fenders all one piece? As in, the fender flares that look like they are added on are actually molded in the sheet metal to look that way or are they separate pieces added on? There is a definitive seam there, but with the wrap I can’t tell

The front fenders look like they are one piece molded that way, but it’s hard to tell with the rear quarters and the rear doors?

 

[Vincent@27WON]

I think it needs a wing, but I like it.

I agree! When can we expect 27WON to start releasing aero parts?

With the rear doors being flared out , I would expect the wheel flares to be molded into the sheet metal. If it’s tacked on it would not be a good look.

That’s what I’m hoping as well

Looks tacked on unlike the CTR which has the flares integrated and therefore doors unique to it.

Maybe this means ITS will be cheaper than CTR

Or maybe it's a prototype and the production model won't be a 100% clone. And also cost more than the CTR.

No way an Acura would cost less than a Honda.

I agree with the latter. On the other hand - in my area at least - my dealers are “saying” 10k markup on the CTR & that they haven’t marked up their Acura Type S models in the past yet. That would be estimated around the same price, heck, maybe even a few K less than the CTR due to the rarity/availability they say. I guess we’ll see soon enough when Acura releases pricing.
